Reusing the coconut clay (brick) as construction material

Abstract:

With the aim of finding an alternative for the manufacture of concrete, based on the recycling of construction debris and demolition of works, in particular the reuse of the clay blocks (brick), a mechanism that will serve to improve the visual appearance within The city and to diminish accumulation of these in vacant lots and even in the municipal dumps the investigation was developed, through the method of observation and experimentation in laboratory, field, and documentary. Different samples of cylinders made in a conventional manner were prepared, the brick powder was prepared, after being crushed by using the angels machine and then sieved to use the material according to the particle size in the mixture substituting 5, 10 and 15% of the cement with brick powder, the same one that was designed to obtain a concrete of structural type, with a resistance of 210 kg/cm2 (21MPa) for this the techniques of observation and experimentation were used in laboratory. With the results obtained it was concluded that a structural type concrete can be made for the manufacture of beams, columns, slabs, only replacing up to 5% of the cement in a mixture of concrete; If 10 or 15% of the cement is replaced, it can be used for the production of non-structural concrete, for the manufacture of floors, sidewalks, and curbs, blocks, among others. These results demonstrate the reuse of the material and the reduction of the negative impacts that these produce in the environment.
